How to share your android phone's internet connection to your pc or laptop.

The most common way used by samsung users is using "samsung kies".
Here we talk about 2 or 3 different methods that can be used for this purpose.

 using "USB TETHERING"
               
step 1 : Connect your device to pc or laptop using data cable.
step 2 : Go to settings> wireless and networks> tethering and portable hotspot > usb tethering
             from your phone.
step 3 : Turn on usb tethering after connecting your device via usb data cable.

Doing this will make your device as a modem. If the data connection error occur, a symbol of an exclamatory sign enclosed in a triangle in yellow background will appear.  Then check your packet data connection and try reconnect.

Bluetooth or wi-fi tethering.

step 1 : Go to settings<wireless and networking< tethering and portable hot spot.
step 2 : select "configure wi-fi hotspot" and change the security to "WPA PSK" or "WPA2 PSK"
step 3 : type a password for your protection and save it.
step 4 : turn on bluetooth tethering for connect via bluetooth to your system, or turn on portable           wi-fi hotspot for connect via wi-fi to your pc.
step 5 : Make sure that your pc or laptop have switched on bluetooth or wi-fi to connect your phone.

                                            This will identify your phone and in your range icon will show a star to mention that connections are available. As clicking on it, there will be your device.
step 6 : click on your devices section and click on connect. Then type password and proceed.
 

If you cannot find your device here, go to, control panel< networking and sharing section from your system.
There will show your device and internet access if any.

If there any problem occures "try troubleshoot problems" in the same "networkand sharing" option in control panel.
